TRON Tests Quantum Signatures That Could Cut TPS by 95%

The proposal’s largest projected reduction applies only if every transaction adopts ML-DSA-44. It is a capacity model, not a live mainnet result or a forecast for an initial rollout.

Key Takeaways

  • TRON is testing quantum signatures on Nile.
  • Larger signatures reduce available block space.
  • Full Falcon use models roughly 400 TPS.
  • Full ML-DSA use models roughly 173 TPS.
  • Mainnet activation still needs governance approval.

TRON is testing post-quantum signatures that could protect transactions against future quantum-computing attacks. The security benefit comes with a measurable trade-off: the signatures take up more data, leaving less room for transactions in each block.

The proposal is live on testnet, not mainnet

TRON’s TIP-899 proposal adds two post-quantum signature options: Falcon-512 and ML-DSA-44. The code is included in a Read Entire Article
